Glasgow Americana returns with yet another strong and varied line up between the 29 September- 3 October

Posted on September 29, 2021 by MUSIC NEWS Scotland

Glasgow Americana will have nine shows this year at six different venues over its 5-day period, bringing some of the best talent from home and abroad to Glasgow.

The opening night will feature UK-based Australian singer-songwriter Emily Barker who will perform in Cottiers Theatre in the West End. Kicking off the night and declaring GA officially open up will be Scottish singer-songwriter, Kirsten Adamson.

Thursday 30 September sees a choice of shows from local favourite and hugely talented Jill Jackson, who will play a headline show in Saint Lukes.

Organisers are so happy to see Nathan Bell making the trip to Glasgow in these troubled times for his Thursday show in The Admiral. Nathan has been steadily building an audience in Glasgow since his debut here at Celtic Connections 2017.

Long Ryders front man Sid Griffin plays The Admiral on Friday 1 October, meanwhile over in the South-Side Nashville-based singer Diana Jones plays a sold out show in The Glad Cafe.

The very talented Scottish singer-songwriter Roseanne Reid will headline the matinee show back in The Glad Cafe on Saturday 2 October, with the equally talented David Latto opening up the show.

Roseanne is doing a double shift on the Saturday and will be performing as part of a ‘Song Writers In The Round’, with Jill Jackson and multi-instrumentalist and hugely talented Cahalen Morrison.

Moving on to our final day, Sunday the 3 October, we are delighted to have the Seven Song Club back at the festival. This year, we will be showcasing Scottish talent, with Man Of The Minch, The Coaltown Daisies and Kirsteen Harvey taking the stage in Room 2.

We are thrilled to welcome My Darling Clementine back to Glasgow Americana as they continue to tour in support of their most recent, critically acclaimed album ‘Country Darkness – the songs of Elvis Costello’. The husband and wife duo of Michael Weston King and Lou Dalgleish play The CCA at 8pm.

Festival director Kevin Morris said: “I am so proud of this line up, which was put together at short notice and glad to be given the opportunity for the 15th Glasgow Americana festival to actually happen. The fact that a festival like Glasgow Americana can still exist, in what has been such a strange time for musicians, venues and promoters alike makes me happy. I would also like to thank Creative Scotland for their continued support in allowing the festival to go ahead.”

About MUSIC NEWS Scotland

MUSIC NEWS Scotland was born 20 years ago when dial up broadband was still around and desktop pc’s ruled. So we did what had been done since 220 AD in China and every month put ink on a printing plate, ran some paper over it and hey presto MNS was published (okay it was a wee bit more involved than that, but the basic principle was the same!) Move on to 2011 with high speed broadband and access to the www everywhere and the future was catching up with us rapidly. The volume of information flowing into MNS HQ was more than our monthly issue could cope with, and more and more Scottish music stories of great value were being spiked (an old press term not a dodgy drink). Reaching our vast number of readers in every conceivable nook and cranny of Scotland has always been a challenge monthly but to do that more often was physically not feasible. So we have doffed oor tam o’ shanter to the future and MNS is now a weekly digital publication, and not only weekly now but twice the number of pages than our old printed friend! Along with our MNS GIGguide and MNS FESTIVALS! supplements we are now publishing news and valuable information on Scottish music news every week :) We remain as true as ever to our launch roots of 8 years ago though - MUSIC NEWS Scotland supports all Scottish bands and performers no matter what style of music you’re involved in. Our aim is to circulate music industry news and to help to raise the profile of musicians and improve communications between genres. To help achieve this copies of MUSIC NEWS Scotland are emailed to key industry contacts throughout the UK. Thank you for your support over the last 8 years and please raise a glass to our digital future with you all. Thanks for your support, The MNS team!
